Kauai is called the garden island of the
Hawaiian group, and is owned blythe
Germans. Its population is 1000 SOILS,
and the majority of them are Chinese
and Kanaka laborers. The island of
Hawaii is 1000 miles square, and is con-
trolled by American, English and Ger
man merchants. The Mongolians con-
stitute the larger part of the popula-
ton of the island, the population of
which is 5000: people. Mr.. Benning-
haven says the women there are models
of physical beauty, and they take more
kindly to the Chinese when picking
husbands than to the Kanakas, asathe
latter force them to perform labor, while
the Celestials support them in compare
tive ease and luxury. He says this
island offers aSplendid field for ambi-
tious moralists. The climate of the
j., Sandwich islands is delightful, surpass-
ing in mildneSs that of Southern Cali
foriIla, and, when canopied with mos

the past ten years that the American
fly has made its appearance in that
country, and the suppOSition is they

between San Francisco and other Pacific
coast points and the island points. There
are no snakes Or lizards there. but the

The great sugar plantation of Mr..
SpreckleS is 10X50 miles, and during the
cane cutting season the work is carried
on day and night. During the night
the plantation is Illuminated with
electric lights. and is traversed by mar
row gauge railroads. Spreckles intends
to give his attention particularly to the
manufacture Of sugar from beets on the
Pacific coast. He says the labor Of Chi
nese can be had on the coast as cheap as
in Honolulu, and as they neither vote
nor own anything, they are more desira-
bic than the scum oS Europe. Mr.. Ben
ninghoven will stay in St. Paul week,

book on life in the Sandwich Islalsis
that will be published at an early day
